I have been an admirer of Carolyn Male and Chuck Wyatt for a long time:it's a
pleasure to read your stuff! My wife and I do not look at seed catalogs until
Jan 1 so we are off and running. I would appreciate a copy of your 'taters for
99. Last year my son and I grew 40 varieties--all open pollinated except
one--Sungold. Many thanks for improving my life and many many others.
